Ma’s water broke around 3:30, she is in labor but it did not progress. It is likely that the babies are stillborn, thus not struggling to come out. Large animal vet is en route for emergency call, our decision will be whether to remove the babies – if it is certain they are dead – in order to keep Ma alive or to euthanize her. We’ll see what the vet says and we’ll decide. The labor is definitely in trouble.
